This is my neighbors guitar. He's a luthier. The guitar has a really long history of being owned by some of the finest players around here, all of them luthiers.
It's a 1954.
It's got so much bass, it's like playing a bass, I mean this baby really rumbles.
It looks like hell but it's real easy to play.
The luthier before him did a neck reset and bridge, 20 plus years ago. it's got patched holes in the lower bout and his kid caved it in the same spot when he was 6, 7 years ago, still not fixed but held together by the earlier repairs. PG looks like it's been off for a while... The top is really worn down on each side of the fingerboard, down into the grain with amazing patina. It's really cool no one's tried to doll it up and make it look better. I'm not sure I could have done that.
Neighbor says he's "never done anything to it" but play it.
Strings are pretty dead, and it's still sounds 99.9% percent better than 99.9% of the guitars out there.
Oh, and it weighs almost nothing...
A lot character...
The feel of that top, the grain, nothing like it.
